… The Limits of Satire by Tim Parks | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
Charlie Hebdo is gratuitously offensive and fails as satire. Its manners are atrocious. All that should be allowed. One may take offense, and even respond — proportionately. Take them to court. Offend them somehow. Murder is not a proportionate response and obviously represents a far greater threat to society.
